We could all write some stuff about men being whinging gits at the slightest sniffle so you need a new angle on it. I don't know, something about the latest treatment for 'manflu' being based on a Medieval remedy for the bubonic plague or something? That is very much off the top of my head and is probably not a good basis for a sub but hopefully you see what I'm driving at. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=35965#post-101034 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 20:33:22 +0000 Mary Mad 101034@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>That's an idea.
